I'm tired of the heroine's lamb temperament in the original book or the movie, but aside from the boring landscape description, the book and the movie are quite successful in grasping the suspense and creating the atmosphere.
Suspense 1: What kind of person is Rebecca? Rebecca's traces on many things in the mansion are like her ghost: the heart-pounding R in the address book, the looming body fragrance on the raincoat, the spotless living room of the hostess' luxurious bedroom, the wild endorsement on the title page, the
second suspense: de Winter's True Psychology: What kind of feelings does he have for Rebecca? Did he marry "me" for decency or for affection? The most fascinating characters in the story have to be Rebecca and Derwent. This is a very interesting story. The name of the heroine is not mentioned once. The author deliberately removes the label of the narrator to hide her identity and role in the background, so that every reader subconsciously becomes "I" and experiences this terrifying story. mind games.

Sound effects: Infrasound has not
been used yet, and the simple and rude means of suddenly increasing the volume have been chosen. For example, when "I" went to the seaside hut for the first time, the huge waves seemed to eat people. Apparently it's still a studio. Therefore, the most obvious places for the horror effect are the light and shadow on the face and the expressions of the actors, especially the eyes.
